I don't have some special way or system of using qm. 90% of time I use qm to develop and test qm itself. 10% - write macros on demand. Don't know what tutorial I could write. I think everything is documented or self explanatory. Please give a list of things that are not clear.

also as you get more skills at QM, you will begin to appreciate the genius of the help file, very clear explanations of return values, flags, etc

Best way to get better (IMHO):

1. Import the tons of examples in http://www.quickmacros.com/forum/showthr...p?tid=2852 and find one that does something close to what you want. Modify it as necessary and then when you run in to trouble, look up the relevant function in help file or forum. If no answer there, then:

2) post question to forum WITH YOUR DRAFT CODE and you should get someone (usually Gintaras..God Bless Him!) answering your problem with code or pointing you in right direction. Remember to very clearly explain what you are trying to do.

forgive me pi, didn't realize it was you....I think you used to have the name pi in the Author column of your posts. Of course you already know the things I posted. I thought it was someone going through my early experience and just wanted to share friendly advice. I understand now that you mean specifically how to use the QM editor itself to make the act of coding more efficient. I do use favorites, and the "mirror in right", "shift to right" functions of active windows ALOT since the update that brought them to QM. Like you, I think I could still get a lot more out of it if I understood more. Thanks for putting your query up to the forum.

When downloading a file ,I noticed that no % progress is shown on the screen.
Does this latest version of QM have this feature? If not, may the creative genius of Gintaras add this important
feature on the future version of QM for the benefit of all users. Any feedbacks from others is also appreciated.

I would like to be one of the first users of the % progress feature when you are successful.
My friend suggested that some good samples to emulate would come from ScriptFtp.com. Hope you would
not mind seeing their free script samples. Coupled with your exe, yours will be rated 10.

Waking at 5:00 a.m. just got me excited when I saw your response about this % progress. But then how do I get to try it
as my version is only 2.3.2.2 and you have already 2.3.2.7. Please send me a link so I can use it too. Besides that, I want to
be the first one to try it as I stated before.

Please come to the rescue. What is wrong with my setup. The 1 on the ( ) is not showing at all even though I have
been trying to type it several times. How can I show this ...It must be on the option setup.

I could not find the "SetProgressDialog" but I found from the Menu:Tools, Options , Edit and under the Code "Number" instead and there I set my preferred color and it worked. Thanks for the lead.

This feature "SetProgressDialog(1)" works great for both downloading and uploading files.

Some times the window icon about "security access" spoils the fun. This window icons hides the % icon at the back making the upload or download % progress in a limbo since you cannot see the % progress operation. Can you please help how to get this window icon "security blocking internet access" out of the way.

Do you need an image of what I am talking about?
Is there a command that the % progress icon will always show and over rides the window image no matter what?
I have the VISTA operating sysytem.

If window A is sometimes covered by window B, you can:
1. Make window A "always on top".
2. Move window A somewhere where it would not be under window B.

You can do all it in 2 ways:
1. Edit the dialog code. Since it is a System dialog, it is not recommended.
2. Create function that would run automatically when A appears (assign window trigger). Let the function use ont or mov command. Or mov B when it appears.

It must be an Internet Explorer Security Blocker Setting of some sort for Window B. Whether I choose to remain
idle and not touching any botton , I notice that it will still process the uploading or downloading (while Window A hidden).
I shall try to screen capture it and post it when it shows up again.
Anyway do you have a good example guide in the forum for your recommended solution? I am not yet familiar with the QM trigger function.

Can you help with a macro to put the QM uploading or downloading icon always on top of any pop up blockers when either uploading or downloading.
or I suggest a one line macro to consider on next version.

I need your expertise as usual. As I took a break from all of these, I tried learning your array samples.

; Generate the square root of a number between c to b
int i c b
c=2
b=101
ARRAY(int) a
for(i c b) a[]=i ;;adds and sets 1 element
for(i c a.len) out "The square root of" ; out (a); out "is" ; out sqrt(a[i]) ;; this is a working line
end

;; question for Gintaras....kindly help what am I doing wrong?
;; why does the iteration starts at 4?
;; If I want to generate square root from 3 to 100 what are the steps to revise?
;; if I want to have one line printout like[i] "The square root of 3 is 1.73205080756888"
then next line "The square root of 4 is 2.0000000000000".....and so on ( here it shows 2..how can I have say 13 decimal places)
